Send us a text Most of us have had the awkward experience of learning about our menstrual cycle as an adolescent in a room full of other giggling adolescents. Honestly, I wish I had an Auntie like Jasmine Rose in my life when I first started menstruating, but I am equally grateful that I have her in my life now. In her work, she is not only normalizing the relational experience to our individual Wombs, but she has created a movement of Womb Warriors who connect, support and love each other in Si...

Send us a text Yesterday was the Autumn Equinox. And I couldn't think of a better way to usher in this season than inviting my good friend Christina onto the podcast to nerd out about the Autumn/Metal Season. This year has felt like we're going through a collective Autumn since March. We've had to shed many, may layers of perceptions, stories and conditions. Perceptions of how the world works or "should" work has shifted. And it's been a haaaaaaard year, y'all. The thing with Autumn is that it l...

Send us a text This 1 question transformed my entire life... I started looking at my relationship to love after a heart-wrenching divorce. I kicked and screamed as Life dragged me in front of a mirror. There, I discovered some hard truths about the blocks + beliefs that stood between me and happily ever after. Peeling back the layers of conditions I had created around my life and identity required me to attend a thousand funerals of the women I used to be. But having done so means that I feel wh...

Send us a text We all do it. When you get triggered, you either lash out which ends up hurting the people around you or you internalize the pain which ends up hurting yourself. But no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to break out of the pattern so reacting. It's not your fault you have triggers. But it IS within your sphere of influence to transform it. More than that, it is your empowered responsibility to transform your triggers so you are responsive to challenges rather than reactive. ...

Send us a text We’ve seen those couples out there. The ones who seem like they have all their shit figured out. They respect each other. They’ve been through the trials of life together and it’s made them stronger. They empathize with and learn from each other. They are genuinely joyful around each other. None of this ‘ol ball and chain act and “yes dear” rhetoric and passive-aggressive resentment that is so common it's a cliche in our modern day relationships. Those relationships don’t just hap...

Why do I withdraw when I'm feeling vulnerable? How do I empathize with my partner and better understand their needs while honouring and feeling empowered in my own needs? As I started opening up to people about my story, I noticed that everyone I talked to has the same struggles. I found the...

Send us a text I started practicing yoga 15 years ago to cross-train for roller derby. To make my body stronger, more flexible, to "get" those yoga arms. I didn't realize the depth that Yoga had to offer went beyond the body. Over the years, yoga has embodied so many healing voices for me. The gentle whisper inviting me back into myself. The booming thunder that told me "stay" on the days I've contemplated suicide. The unwavering tone that says "You're safe" The curious inquiry always asking "wh...

Send us a text Resentment is a slippery emotion. It lies hidden beneath the surface, masked over with a smile, while it grows roots. You find yourself internally asking, "Can't they see how much I'm doing? Can't they see I have needs too? Can't they hear how much I'm suffering?" until the load is too much and you have an explosion over your partner eating the leftovers without you (True story...you'll hear about this in the episode).

Send us a text What if I told you that our emotional triggers are actually teachers in disguise. How does that land for you? Do you feel resistance? Fear? Acceptance? Surrender? When you feel wounded and triggered, every muscle fiber in your body (including that big beautiful beating Heart) feels unsafe and is seeking security. The default setting for most is to numb the feelings. When we numb, we feed our addictions, we retreat to protect ourselves, we apologize insincerely to avoid the hard co...

We stuff what we have done, how we feel, who we are into a dark corner and hope that no one will see it. When we do this, shame festers, mutates and tells stories about how we are not good enough or too much. And we think the only way to deal with this feeling is to hide it from the world. Meanwhile, we wonder why we are the most addicted, most obese and most medicated population t...

The health + wellness industry is saturated with “specialists” and “experts” who claim they know what is going to fix your painful periods, but has anyone ever asked you: “What is your period trying to tell you?” Signs and symptoms are your body trying to draw you a roadmap to your health and it is your health care practitioner’s job to listen.
